"Samuel3 Mills, son of Samuel2 and Susannah (Palmer) Mills, and grandson of George1 Mills of Jamaica, Long Island, New York, was born by 1673 [based on his marriage about 1693] and probably earlier, possibly even as early as 1660. … Samuel3 Mills was living on 5 August 1751 when his grandson, referred to as Samuel Mills, Jr., along with Denton Mills and Ebenezer and Lydia Fitch quitclaimed on some land to their grandfather, Samuel Mills of Greenwich. On 12 July 1754 Samuel Mills, Jr. signed a petition in Greenwich, the 'Jr.' suggesting that his grandfather was still living. However, Samuel3 had died, probably by 12 March 1757, but surely by 19 April 1758 when Samuel5 was referred to without the appellation, 'Jr.' in deeds with his sister, Sarah Close."
